The VMware vCenter Operations Manager vApp integrates with the vSphere Web Client to provide you with a high-level overview of the health and performance of vSphere objects.

Badges appear in the vSphere Web Client interface when you register an instance of VMware vCenter Operations Manager with a vCenter Server that you want to monitor. You can find the VMware vCenter Operations Manager badges and widgets on the Summary tab, and on the Monitor tab, under Health, for the following objects in the inventory tree.
